A fortysomething Middle Eastern man described as having a thick Arabic accent waltzed into Moore High School in Moore, Okla. without authorization last week and asked a number of “suspicious” questions, according to police.

“It’s very concerning that he was able to enter the school unannounced, unconfronted, that’s concerning. That’s something that has to be fixed,” Moore police department spokesman Jeremy Lewis said, according to NBC affiliate KFOR.

Police are not identifying the man. They say he currently faces no criminal charges.

Last week, a different man in Moore, an Oklahoma City suburb of 55,000 residents, reportedly beheaded a 54-year old female co-worker and stabbed another co-worker. He had previously been fired from his job and tried to convert fellow employees at Vaughan Foods to Islam.
